Who are we?

Our Sangha

Our practice is an emerging western Zen practice community with lineage roots in the Japanese Soto, and the Korean Linji tradition.

This practice is rooted in the deepest intention for awakening, including breath awareness, mindfulness practices, koan introspection, and the subtle art of just sitting. We are also committed to continuing the work of integrating Zen practice into everyday life.

 

When the World-Honored One was walking with his assembly, he pointed to the ground with his hand and said, “This place is good for building a temple.” Hearing this, the god Indra took a stalk of grass and stuck it in the ground and said, “The temple has been built.”

At this, the World-Honored One smiled.
